NEW. Blemish-Free. Playability guaranteed!

Overview:

Released November 7, 1995, this three-disc box set from Arista Records offers a complete career retrospective spanning tracks recorded between 1965 and 1995.

Carly Simon personally curated the set, selecting 58 songs, including nine tracks previously unreleased on her studio albums (or hard‑to‑find from other sources). The title references a refrain from her famous song “You’re So Vain.”

Packaging & Booklet:

The CDs are housed in a hardback digibook sleeve, roughly 10″ × 5.5″, styled like a small hardcover book RareVinyl.com+1Vinyl Exchange+1. Inside is an integral booklet—approximately 48–50 pages—featuring numerous photographs, extensive liner notes (written by Carly Simon), and details about the origins of each track.

Disc Breakdown & Track Listing Highlights:

Disc 1: The Hits (18 tracks)

Simon’s most well-known singles spanning her career, such as:

• “Let the River Run”
• “You’re So Vain”
• “Nobody Does It Better”
• “Coming Around Again”
• “Anticipation,” “Touched by the Sun,” “Haven’t Got Time for the Pain,” “Give Me All Night,” among others.

Disc 2: Miscellaneous & Unreleased (19 tracks)

A collection aimed at collectors: rarities, B-sides, and previously unreleased songs like:

• “Angel From Montgomery” (unreleased, 1972)
• “I’m All It Takes to Make You Happy” (1972, unreleased)
• “Raining” (recorded 1990/1995, unreleased)
• “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” (from the 1994 Baseball documentary)
• Plus tracks such as “My New Boyfriend,” “The Night Before Christmas,” “Play With Me,” “My Luv Is Like a Red, Red Rose,” and others.

Disc 3: Cry Yourself to Sleep (21 tracks)

• A deeply introspective set of album tracks, ballads, and slower, emotional work, including:
• “It Happens Everyday,” “Boys in the Trees,” “Orpheus,” “Never Been Gone”
• Standards like “Danny Boy,” “I’ve Got a Crush on You,” “Something Wonderful”
• Other standout pieces: “We’re So Close,” “Time After Time,” “By Myself / I See Your Face Before Me,” and more.
• The three discs are thematically distinct—Disc 1 is hits, Disc 2 is rare and unreleased, and Disc 3 centers on more personal, mood-driven material.

Additional Notes & Reception:

• The set was remastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in NYC, with mixing at Right Track Recording, and executive producers listed as Carly Simon and Frank Filipetti.
• Packaging quality was occasionally criticized: some users note the booklet is stapled inside and the CD holders are glued plastic tabs that could break with repeated use.
• Contemporary reviews praised the collection’s breadth and depth—People magazine called it a “virtual autobiography in song,” while AllMusic and others noted the interesting contrast between hits, rarities, and emotional tracks
